R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army.
June 28th, 2020 .
Ann was a big Nightwish Fan.
And every new person who listened to NW, she went through a little chat.
And gave them some info about NW.
This was her favorite song.
And this song belongs to her.
I like very much that Gabriel have continue Ann s work.... so her heritage is still here.
🌹
🌹
Ann is instructing the angels in heaven about Nightwish as we speak.
Wuw....Over two years already.!
Exactly! "What Ann said!"
You can definitely see Dominika is enjoying every second of the song, her eyes really start to twinkle, so great to see. great reaction ty
It is based on the poem in 52 chapters " Song of myself " by Walt Whitman USA 1892 version. There is a extended studio version of this song with, at the end, a poem as a tribute to Whitman made by Tuomas, the keyboard player and the mastermind of nightwish. Most of these lines you can also see fast flahing on the ledscreen of this video.
Bucle up, it goes very deep.
" I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street
With a begging bowl in his shaking hand
Trying to smile but hurting infinitely
Nobody notices
I do, but walk by
An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic
It's half-light and he's in tears
When he finally comes his eyes are cascading
I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley
He tries to bite me
All pride has left his wild drooling eyes
I wish I had my leg to spare
A mother visits her son,
Smiles to him through the bars
She's never loved him more
An obese girl enters an elevator with me
All dressed up fancy
A green butterfly on her neck
Terribly sweet perfume deafens me
She's going to dinner alone
That makes her even more beautiful
I see a model's face on a brick wall
A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill
A city that worships flesh
The first thing I ever heard
Was a wandering man telling his story
It was you, the grass under my bare feet
The campfire in the dead of the night
The heavenly black of sky and sea
It was us
Roaming the rainy roads
Combing the gilded beaches
Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn
Bathing in places no-one's seen before
Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island
Clad in nothing but the surf
Beauty's finest robe
Beyond all mortality we are
Swinging in the breath of nature
In early air of the dawn of life
A sight to silence the heavens
I want to travel where life travels
Following its permanent lead
Where the air tastes like snow music
Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden
I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture
I would bathe in a world of sensation
Love, Goodness, and Simplicity
(While violated and imprisoned by technology)
The thought of my family's graves was the only moment
I used to experience true love
That love remains infinite
As I'll never be the man my father is
How can you "just be yourself"
When you don't know who you are?
Stop saying "I know how you feel"
How could anyone know how another feels?
Who am I to judge a priest, beggar, whore, politician, wrongdoer?
I am, you are, all of them already
Dear child, stop working, go play
Forget every rule
There's no fear in a dream
"Is there a village inside this snowflake?"
A child asked me
"What's the color of our lullaby?"
I've never been so close to truth as then
I touched its silver lining
Death is the winner in any war
Nothing noble in dying for your religion
For your country
For ideology, for faith
For another man, yes
Paper is dead without words
Ink idle without a poem
All the world dead without stories
Without love and disarming beauty
Careless realism costs souls
Ever seen the Lord smile?
All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man?
Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks?
Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is
All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground
I see all those empty cradles and wonder
If man will ever change
I, too, wish to be a decent manboy
But all I am
Is smoke and mirrors
Still given everything, may I be deservin
And there forever remains
That change from G to E minor. "
Btw. Did you know Floor had to learn the setlist (15 songs) in 2012 in just 48 hours when she was asked to replace Annette Olzon during Nightwish's Tour in te USA.
She was contacted on her sister's (Irene) weddingday and the next day she sat on a plane to the USA.
Note: Floor and her sister Irene sometimes sing together in AYREON's Projects. Irene mostly sings as a backing vocalist.
i get so damn jealous that i cant see NIGHTWISH for the 1st time anymore. you two look like kids on christmas eve or morning. this is my favorite song it just gets into me from head to toe
Don't worry about runniing out of things to say about them, the expression on your face says enough.. thanks for your reactions
Yes 🙂
I absolutely love Floor with Nightwish. She took the band to another level in so many ways. She also took the Dutch tv show Beste Zangers (the one reaction you did) to another level and became an overnight sensation over here in the Netherlands. She shines very, very brightly on her own, and also in her bands before Nightwish. Cheers from Amsterdam!
You should check out their concert at Hellfest 2022. Marko is not there bur they still kill it.
Lots of people who go on this journey know the answer to the question "Which is your favourite nightwish song?" The answer is always "The next one!". Great you are enjoying what you have seen so far... you have a looooong way to go yet. If you decide to do the new Human | nature album, think about doing those songs in the order off the album.
Lot of people that dont listen to metal think its aggressive or melancholic music. Nightwish is a great antithesis for that, since most of their songs make you feel happy rather than angry or sad. It is easy to see from your reaction.
You two are good examples. You look happy and excited before, during and after reacting to a new song from them.
Just love your reactions. In your own time check out the full studio version of this one with lyrics. For the record, in my opinion Wacken 2013 is matched by Tampere 2015, Wembley 2016, Buenos Aires 2018 (my favourite) and now Hellfest 2022 as well. The journey goes on for us all.
Nothing will match Wacken 2013 for me. It was my very first introduction to Nightwish ever, 2.75 years ago. These other concerts are pretty good, but I like the song set and the whole atmosphere of Wacken 2013. All the other concerts are missing 2 things, Jukka ( the drummer), and Floor without tattoos. LOL And now all the newer stuff is missing Marko, starting with the virtual reality show. That's my take, and I'm Floored by all of Floor's solo stuff starting in 2019. She is the best. On a side note, the stage at Hellfest was so huge, it looked almost like Floor was doing a solo show.
I agree with Dominika's thought on Floor. She is so good in her solo projects and TV show appearances; but she shines so much brighter with Nightwish. With this group of musicians and songs she is "in her element". More so than any other singer I can remember. Great reaction again.
You are right, Dominika, Floor and Nightwish are the perfect match. 😊
Nightwish is like a bunch of fantasy movies - without the movie.. Someone compared them to Lord of the Rings.
In my mind Storytime+Song of myself + Ghost River is a ride to a childhood tales with scary and strange vibes combined with utter angelic beauty.
Plus much more in their later music - almost religious, spiritual view to the universum / sensual, intimate humanity ( How's Your Heart) +++
Tuomas Holopainen is a genius
Yes, we know. There is so much more. Love you two.
There are concerts that you go to, and then you say, it was ok, and concerts like this that you can never forget in your whole life! 🤘🏻
True nightwish lovers, it's so obvious!🤟💕
I've been listen to them for 20 years and they don't have one bad song love this one that's why they rule the world keep up good work
Your English is excellent and you convey your enjoyment of this wonderful band very effectively - I think we're all really enjoying being part of your Nightwish journey 🤘
I love your reactions. English is my first language and I don't think I could express my feelings about Nightwish songs as well as you do. ❤
R.I.P Ann - Your favorite Is played. Music doesn't deserve to be only reacted, it deserves to be enjoyed... Greetings Nightwish army Finland 🤘 𝓜𝓾𝓼𝓽𝓪 𝓛𝓪𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓪
Your English is very good Dominika. You can express yourself eloquently.
The smile's on your faces bring tears to my eyes .
I love everything FLOOR but I agree .....FLOOR is a QUEEN solo, Shes a GODDESS standing in front of that Amazing Band .
BTW .....I hate to tell you but Ma.......Nahhh i cant !!!
Nightwish Army UK popping in for a great reaction and song.
All true what you both say about Nightwish but your enthousiasm, joy in your eyes and facial expressions are simularly addictive as the music❤️
I remember when Dominica said "...never was my cup of tea, the music..." at the Storytime reaction. :) :)
Am enjoying your journey of discovery.
People say Nightwish can't be categorised and needs its own genre - I agree and suggest 'Euphoric Metal'
We just love watching your excitement, and for us, like seeing it again for the first time again. I know you run out of words to describe them, we all do.
I love The Valkyrie Goddess's acolytes headbanging 😍😍😍😍
Great reaction to a great song. Greetings from Denmark and Tour de France🚲🇩🇰
Dominika, you have my heart 💕 I love how giddy and excited you get, the heavier the song gets 😆💖 while your hubby is just chillin, vibin with the song
4:59 - 5:10 I love how Marco starts singing the note but Floor finishes it!! So Awesome! 👏
Annes song RIP...Thankyou that was a great reaction.
❤! I am very happy that you like this one... 🙂.... I liked this with Annette and.... Ok Floor is her own level with Marko😀!!!! Nowdays I also remember ANN WAYCHOFF❤ One the finest Nightwish fan in CZcams... So little 🕯 to Ann and Thank you one more time (AND I am very sorry MY glomsy english... hope somebody else can put few lines about ANN) Thank you❤🙂 and greetings from Finland (by Nightwish fan since 1998)
Ohh finaly it's here.. I have been waiting for you to get to Song of Myself..
My absolute fav. Nightwish song.
I am happy you liked it, great reaction !!
For Ann, R.I.P dear . We still miss you , and this will be your song forever ❤
imagine that you have barely scratched the surface here. like of all us , nightwish fans it took a while to complete the journey.there is a lot of road of songs and performances to react.keep on
You should listen to Floor singing euphoria. Her voice is beautiful in that song.
You guys have the best Nightwish/Floor reactions
Lovely reaction guys. Floor and Nightwish are a match made in heaven and why Floor has said that Nightwish will always be her priority but her solo stuff allows her to stretch herself artistically and creatively the same as Tuomas's side projects like Auri and Life and Time of Scrooge McDuck. You should at least checkout Floor's version of Shallow and Phantom of the Opera from Beste Zangers to see some of her top solo performances.
Don't worry, it's not your fault. All languages let us miserably down since they fail to have enough words to describe the grandeur of this band and its front woman. Please keep these lovely reactions coming. They feel to me like taking a warm soothing bath.
This is a masterpiece 🔥❤️🤘🇫🇮
You're English is wonderful. I know you could probably express yourself more in your native language, but no worries. We can all see by the looks on you're faces and the big beautiful smiles. Love it Andrei and Dominika. see you both for the next one.
Yay! Hello you 2 🤗. You both make my week better. That is all. Carry on.
Ah my No 2. I'll enjoy this...
There's much to say. The title is taken from Walt Whitman's Poem.
Everything about the song is superb and this performance adds more - the pauses, pyro and Floor's positioning at the end.
And Emppu holding that long sustained note with one hand while drinking a Corona beer with the other - showman as usual.
Notice the dissonant pizzicato strings before the final section.
This contains the best description of depression I have seen - Sometimes the within is piano black - about as deep as black can get.
Note the personal reference again - "the same old Dead Boy's song".
Marco's second entry, that rising gliss, is so good I have extracted it as my ringtone.
Watch Floor doing Shallow on Beste Zangers, and singing her own song, Fire, on a TV show live.
Your English is not at fault - there just aren't the words.
You guys can say the same thing over and over and I would still enjoy your reaction. And Dominika’s smile makes it perfect!
Hey Andree and Domenica . Song of my self is a liddel bit Spezial This song was the Favorit song of Anne Waychoff. She was a Nightwish Fan from the first min on . Ann was the good soul of the Nightwish Armee. GABRIEL DO HIS WORK IN MEMORY OF Ann Waychoff. 🤘🤘🤘
Try Hellfest 2022!!! It was some days ago and was outstanding!!
Excellent reaction! This is an ingenious composition and I only figured out after many times through it that I'm always edge in the last section because of the interesting time signatures. Tuomas is a genius. Also, it's interesting to note that this song immediately followed Ghost Love Score in the Wacken setlist. Floor obviously still have a lot of lung power left! Thanks! Love you guys!
You are a wonderful ❤ couple 💑.
I love your reactions...especially Nightwish. I've been a fan since the band born. I watch all your reaction. I wish to you all the best and very warm wishes from 🇫🇮 🤘🥰🙋♀️
another great reaction. cant wait for the next one. Love you guys.
Another great reaction to an amazing song. Thanks for all the smiles and happy feelings.
Now, slowly building up and then.....EXPLOSION you say.
Hahahahaha you beautiful people haven't seen anything yet (sort of Hahahaha) until you react to NIGHTWISH - THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH live from Tampere. Not that is epic.
I'm surprised one of the Nightwish Army hasn't brought this up before: if you stop a video to give your thoughts or whatever, please roll your tape back 5 to 10 seconds back. That way you get the full force of the video. Thanks. Also Floor has a solo career not counting beste zingers. Her songs are more poppy but good.
Yay another of my favorites!!! :)
so so very exciting watching you on your journey..very special
Favorite song of the late Ann Waychoff, Mother of the Nightwish Army.
This was song #14 of 15, right after Ghost Love Score.
Andrei, you could always have the lyrics pulled up beforehand and have them beside you for the videos that don't have captioning.
Ann Waychoff (R.I.P. 28-06-2020), mother of all NW fans would loved you two. This is the song she loved so much and is dedicated to hear. She was a lovely Lady and did welcome all new reactors. After she passed away Gabriel Bardac took over the torch and he is doing a great job too imho.
Love this song, one of my favourites! The lyrics are awesome!
i love you both, you're so natural and your reaction to nightwish is so funny to watch, a fresh air for me compare to some borings reactions from others, kisses from south of france
the way Marko passes "midnight" straight to Floor is magic!
Your excitement totally made me cry! I pay my respects to Ann W...and share her love for this song!
When you go back and check the lyrics, you will read the spoken word poem at the end of this song. If you rewatch the video, you will see that poem on the big screen behind the band.
It's hard to believe Floor had only been with the band about 10mos at this concert...all of the songs were written for prior female leads, but she totally commanded them all!
Don't worry about repeating yourselves during the reactions...we are all loving your excitement and joy! Much more to discover...
You are getting it right, this is the Nightwish journey we knew you would get, and as you said, this is only one concert ;) you have some more stuff to go through.
And don't worry about talking to much, its ok as long as you pause in the right spots, as you have done so far
Keep up the good job, I am already looking forward to the next one! Hope to see you soon.
Great reaction I love this song it has a wonderful dark heaviness but so light and airy with the strings ♥ it's a brilliant track as you day floor was born to sing in nightwish and nightwish was formed for her things happen for a reason the good thing is you have so many wonderful tracks to react to good job 👏 thank you ,you guys are great 👍 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"This song is cool" haha everyone is like wait for it haha it get's even cooler :)
Thanks ❤
That DRUMMER is Incredible!!!!!
R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army. June 28th, 2020
This is your song.
If you ever have to explain the Groove in Metal to someone - play this tune.
Until the Breakdown hits you with a 10 ton hammer it is all fun and games.
But then the slow chugging monster with the machine gun riffing takes over.
And for every Metal Head this lights up the day.
Awesome….Imho one of the best songs ever.
Sometimes the sky is piano black….
Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries and Stonehenge, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
to ANN❤
great reaction, great fun to watch and listen to your excitement.
this song is parted for the live performance, it has a long spoken words outro and beautiful, moving melody... listen for it ! tears may happen because it is ...Nightwish ;)
for the next step, let´s do "Last Ride of the Day" Wacken 2013
a treat for the eyes and ears, especially if you like great pyro support
then hop over to Wembley 2015 with the opener "Shudder before the beautiful", i've been curious about your reaction to wembley for a "long time" - it will blow your mind again ;)
It also means you will be hearing songs that Tuomas has written for her - unlike the Waken 2013 which were ALL written for previous singers.
You two are just fantastic 😃. Hei from Finland👍👍✌
So;now you got the first tiny impression of Nightwish and Floor. But you still have an extremely long journey on the Nightwish train ahead of you until you arrive at your destination.
I like your Nightwish reactions very much. Have a lovely day too!
Great guys - love watching you become more spellbound by this fantastic band!
It's one of my favorite songs :-)
this song i thinking revolution what ever have happen in history,this song when sound when people take back to the power with king or government. thanx to great reaction like always and have wonderful weekend.
Love your reactions. Lucky seen them a few times including Wembley 2015 tickets for Wembley and Birmingham in November. So lucky 💓
As always I reallly enjoyed your reaction and am in complete agreement with your comments. Happy Canada Day from Nova Scotia.
I love your chemistry try her cover of winner
check out studio version too, it is longer with very poetic end. Singer in album version was Anette Olzon(main singer 2007-2012).
Ann Wayhcoff R.I.P Listen to this forever! Nightwish army forever!
Love you two! Don’t think you’ve done the opener from this concert, Dark Chest of Wonders? It’s the moment that most of the European fan base got to see Floor fronting Nightwish for the first time. It’s an epic tune and one of the best openers for any band ever!
Nightwish with Floor is Next Level ! Sublime :)
Hi i love see your reaction on Nightwish Song of myself..🎸🥁🎹👀👏❤️
yep I think you're one of us now.
You are now a member of the largest army in the world.
Nightwish is mindblowing👍😘
Keep going
They are the best band around today
You guys are great, cheers
By the way, did you find 2 similar songs of Nightwish?
The only thing which is like 👍 a little bit similar is your reaction - it’s always phenomenal ‼️🏆
Listen to " Hows the Heart " with Floor and Troy on acoustic guitar.
yeah, that was 14th of 15 songs from that concert, Ghost love score was 13th, I suggest you to watch entire concert Wacken 2013, it is amazing
This is actually one of my favourite Nightwish songs. My favourite is "The Poet and The Pendulum", but this one is very high on my list! It has so many cool things that are happening musically, like changing rhythms between 7 and 8, changing accents, all that stuff, but most importantly: it has SO MANY emotions! God, it's one of the most emotional songs for me. Thank you for this great reaction and keep going!
Excellent reaction. Salutare din Romania.
Hey you beautiful people 🍀
I see 2 more Great Nightwish fans.
We enjoy you and one of Nightwish best songs🤘🏻❤️
Quit metal, and the Siren takes you away to heaven somewhere.
You watch one of their best metal breakdown in the song❤
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
It must have been awesome to be at that Wacken concert, every song epic.
Tuomas writes the greatest music there is including melody, lyrics, arrangement etc....and the long poem in the end which is actually missing in this live version. Jukka kills those drums so totally.
Mindblowing indeed...every song during this set is an absolute classic. When you get a chance check out Hellfest 2022...It's amazing and I think Floor even surpasses this gig...But sadly no Marco 😞
If you love Markos voice you’ll love “The islander” Marko takes the lead and is backed up by floor 🥰
They're playing London and Birmingham in November folks, pretty sure there are a few tickets left, just sayin' 👀
🇬🇧 Norfolk reporting for duty love this one ☝️
Loved your growing anticipation, it starts relatively quietly, then whooosh, off we go!
Lots of references to literature in the lyrics (as always), I recently discovered the bit about "Covington Woods",
a community in America, cut off from the outside world, with a penalty for leaving.
A princess and a panther by my side?
Try to find the lyrics, "Magnus Opus 1, 2, 3",
"Sometimes the sky is piano black",
"Rusty keys, without a door"...
RIP dear Ann.
You're smiles getting bigger and bigger. haha there are also some songs from Marco solo performing or with a other band..."The islander" with NW or the voice of my father ,then he perform with a other group....He was also the winner of "the masked singer" in Finland...enough choises...enjoy.
